$32 USD SaleSALE AB Rhinestone & Glass Leaf-Shaped Brooch: Awarded the Paw of Approval!
Jewelry:Vintage:Figural Pin:Awarded The Paw Of Approval
My boy Archie approved this lovely brooch, and prettily posed with it! I had a terrible time capturing the fiery beauty of this piece. While unsigned, it's wonderfully made and definitely looks as if it's a designer piece in the tradition of Juliana. Set in silvertone metal, all the stones are prongset and none has been dimmed by time. The outside border consists of large smoky baguettes with open backs. The inner ring and stem are composed of sparkling closed-back aurora-borealis stones. ...
$42 USDBig Vintage Gypsy-Style Lion Disc Dangle Necklace
Jewelry:Vintage:Figural:Big Cat
Unleash your inner Leo! A substantial old piece in goldtone metal, this necklace features a chain that is 15 1/4" long. The 5 dangling lion discs are 1 1/16" in diameter. Basically in excellent vintage condition with only the very gentlest wear to the patina of the metal. Fortunately, the place where this is most noticeable is at the BACKS of the discs. A substantial and striking piece.
$67 USD Offers ConsideredVintage Asian Man-Face Scatter Pins
Jewelry:Vintage:Figural Brooches:Oriental
A beauteous duo, perfect for collectors such as I who are enamored of Selro and HAR. Each of these gentlemen measures approx. 2 3/4" long from the top of his coolie hat to the bottom of his faux freshwater pearl. All rhinestones in place along the brim of both hats. Fully functioning clasps. Please be advised faux pearls are more of a gray shade than the way they photographed and that the goldtone metal is a more subdued, less reddish shade of yellow as well. The two gents are in excellent ...
$28 USDBig, Whimsical Wooden Moose Brooch: Vintage Folk Art
Jewelry:Vintage:Figural Pin:Crafts Style Charm
For those who seek some northern exposure, or for those who simply need a Bullwinkle fix, we offer here a humorous example of the Genus Alces. This charming fellow features articulated limbs, held together by wire, and measures an impressive 3 7/8" long. This accessory is obviously quite old and there is indeed some wear to the paint on the wood, but to me this merely enhances his folk-art appeal.
$14 USD SaleSALE LAST CHANCE! Deeply Carved Roses Flower Brooch
Jewelry:Vintage:Figural Floral Pin
~~THIS ITEM WILL NO LONGER BE OFFERED AS OF JANUARY 1. ~~ For limited periods, we offer items at rock-bottom, final-sale prices. No-nonsense packaging. Such items are designated as "Nice Price!" A charming brooch inspired by Victorian style, this accessory features a centerpiece probably constructed of Lucite--but is perhaps some other sturdy form of plastic. Set in an antique-style goldentone metal frame. Measures 2" x just under 1 1/2", and clasp is fully functional. In excellent vintage ...
$22 USDLAST CHANCE! Vintage Cute As a Chartreuse Bug Brooch
Jewelry:Vintage:Figural Pin
~~THIS ITEM WILL NO LONGER BE OFFERED AS OF JANUARY 1.~~ A darling estate-sale piece acquired in beautiful Scottsdale, AZ, this figural is composed of goldtone metal and a triple-segmented, probably Lucite body. Measures 1 3/4" long x 1 7/8" across wingspan. Unsigned, but designer quality, being substantial and very well-made. In excellent vintage condition.
$48 USDChunky, Fascinating Mythological Bracelet: Vintage
Jewelry:Vintage:Figural
I am assuming the scenes portrayed on the three big panels of this bracelet refer to mythology. While not quite depicting the legend of Minotaur, he who was bull-headed (Not that I should throw stones.), the first depiction is of a man in some sort of toga with a bull. The second panel features a man in its center, taking on two fantasy creatures. Finally, the last panel portrays two men with anvils. In Teutonic mythology, blacksmiths were magical craftsmen. Then there are the Greek mythological ...
$23 USDDainty Bee Bolo-Style Necklace & Earrings
Jewelry:Vintage:Figural Demi-parure:Goldtone Metal & Faux Pearl
I have been advised that, though unmarked as such, this is an Avon demi-parure, and that it is never-worn stock from the very early 1990s. The necklace is in the bolo style, though the bee is stationary and cannot be moved up and down. Length of chain above bee is approx. 17" around, with the longer of the two dangles measuring 1 1/2" long. The pierced earrings measure 3/4" in either direction. Everything's in excellent condition.
$130 USD Offers ConsideredBig Vintage LOUIS FERAUD - Bijoux Brooch: Genie: Lady Face in Turban: New/Old Stock
Jewelry:Vintage:Figural Pin:Designer, Signed
THIS IS THE END OF LOUIS FERAUD STOCK I'D ACQUIRED FROM EUROPE SEVERAL YEARS AGO. A sister piece to this creation is featured in my friend Kathy Flood's wonderful "Costume Jewelry Figurals," on page 106. Was fortunate enough several years back to be able to purchase a lot of breath-taking face brooches by Feraud. Said lot was unworn warehouse stock created by the artist for his own line in the 1980s. This mind-boggling creation measures a most impressive 4" high x 2 1/4" at its widest point. ...

THIS IS THE END OF A LOT OF LOUIS FERAUD LADY FACE BROOCHES I HAD ACQUIRED FROM EUROPE A FEW YEARS AGO. A sister piece to this creation is featured in my friend Kathy Flood's wonderful "Costume Jewelry Figurals," on page 106. Was fortunate enough several years back to be able to purchase a lot of breath-taking face brooches by Feraud. Said lot was unworn warehouse stock created by the artist for his own line in the 1980s.

$36 USDLAST CHANCE! Eisenberg Ice Rhinestone Christmas Tree Brooch
Jewelry:Vintage:Figural Holiday Pin:Designer, Signed
THIS ITEM WILL NO LONGER BE OFFERED AS OF JANUARY 1. Icily stylish! This designer piece is 2 1/16" tall x 1 3/5" across. Signed on the back, and all the clear stones are in place and undimmed. In extremely good vintage condition.
$125 USDLarge, Magnificent Crested-Birds Brooch: Sophisticated Plastic: Awarded the Paw of Approval!
Jewelry:Vintage:Figural Pin
My boy Archie decided this piece passed his rigorous testing. What more can I say? Truthfully, I don't know what sort of amber-shaded plastic was used in the composition of this awe-inspiring brooch. Is it Lucite, or what? Very much reminds me of the gorgeous plastic Lea Stein employs in her iconic creations... That said, this impressive accessory is an estate-sale acquisition from beautiful Scottsdale, Arizona. Measurements are approx. 3 2/4" long x 3" at widest point. All rhinestones in place, ...
$95 USD Offers ConsideredLarge Art Nouveau Inspired Fur Clip: Flowers, Berries, Leaves
Jewelry:Vintage:Figural
A rich and fertile design on a most-impressive accessory, measuring approx. 2 1/2" x 2". Heavy goldtone metal. Clip is fully functional and this piece probably dates back to the 1930s-'40s. Front is in pretty much excellent vintage condition. Some might feel metal could use a polishing; personally, I prefer it in just the way it is.
$39 USD Offers ConsideredBig Vintage CORO Knight in Shining Armor Pendent Necklace
Jewelry:Vintage:Figural:Medieval Motif:Designer, Signed
A chunky slice of heraldry, this noble accessory sports a pendant measuring approx. 3" x 3". Signed on the back. Chain, which I'm not certain is original to the piece, is 21" long and has a fully functioning clasp. More wear to the finish of the goldtone metal of the pendant at the back than on the front, fortunately, which is basically in excellent vintage condition. Let the games begin!
$89 USD SaleSALE Big, Beautiful Porcelain Lady Face Brooch w/Acorns & Leaves
Jewelry:Vintage:Figural Pin
Multa bella! The original owner obtained this ornate piece in the 1980s. It has a sticker on the back reading "Fired Fantasies," but to me it seems wrought with a lush and fecund Italian aesthetic. Probably one of a kind, this brooch measures 3 1/4" long x 1 5/8" across. Prettier than photos would indicate! No chips or cracks; on very, very close inspection, the mildest of crazing on the left side of the lady face. In excellent condition otherwise.
$28 USDHandsome Pharaoh - King Tut Earrings: Egyptian Revival
Jewelry:Vintage:Figural
~~PLEASE BE ADVISED WHAT APPEARS TO BE WEAR TO THE GOLDTONE METAL IN PHOTOS IS REFLECTION. THESE EARRINGS ARE IN EXCELLENT VINTAGE CONDITION.~~ Noble fellows indeed, these pharaohs measure approx. 1 1/2" long x 7/8" at widest point and feature sturdy clip-backs. This pair is substantial and very well constructed. Four tiny rhinestones, all bright and in place, nestle at the bottom of each. Surprisingly, these beautifully made earrings are unsigned.
$68 USD Offers ConsideredHUGE Vintage Carved Bakelite Dragon/Flower Pendant: Asian Style
Jewelry:Vintage:Figural Oriental Style Pendant
I acquired this wonderful topaz-colored pendant, which measures 3" long x just over 1 1/2" wide, several years ago. Depending on how one studies it, it can resemble a flower, a dragon, or a large bird bent over. Intriguing, regardless of how one reads this Rorschach test in jewelry design! Pendant does test positive via 409 as Bakelite, and it is in excellent condition. I had a new bail put on it recently, and I have suspended it from a goldtone chain measuring approx. 15 1/2" long. Last photo ...
$45 USDHuge, Ornate Cross Pendant Necklace: Signed: Ceramic, Glass Stones, Rhinestones
Jewelry:Vintage:Figural:Crucifix:Designer, Signed
You'll really make an entrance wearing this one, which features an eye-popping pendant measuring approx 3 1/4" x 2 1/2". Cross is suspended from a double leather cord that measures approx. 18" long. Not sure if it is original to the piece. The ceramic base looks very much like wood. Back is signed with a copyright mark and what appears to be the name "Fisher." Have tried to look up this jewelry company, sans luck. Front of cross is in excellent vintage condition. Only signs of age are some ...
$30 USDLarge, Darling Cat Scatter Pins
Jewelry:Vintage:Figural Brooches:Awarded The Paw Of Approval
My boy Archie loved these two! Please see second photo. The perfect accessories for the feline lovers among us, this duo measures approximately 2" high each. Constructed of goldtone metal, each cat has pave'-set ruby-red rhinestone eyes and a little painted blue collar. A wee bit smug looking, perhaps, but isn't that half their charm? In extremely good condition and signed "Taiwan" on the back.
$40 USDLarge, Handsome Rooster Brooch: Sterling Silver; Handmade
Jewelry:Vintage:Figural Pin
The King of the Barnyard is understandably cocky due to his depiction on this great-looking vintage accessory. Measurements are approx. 2 1/4" long x 1 3/4" at highest point. Stamped "Handmade/Sterling" on the back. We found no numerical sterling-content stamp. Could use a polishing if you so desire; otherwise in excellent vintage condition.
$25 USDSARAH COVENTRY Leaf Brooch: "Autumn Splendor"
Jewelry:Vintage:Figural Pin:Designer, Signed
An iconic design from the Coventry catalogue, this marbleized thermoset brooch measures approx. 2 7/8" long. A rich salmon color, it's cleverly set in 3-D fashion with the foliage appearing to pop up from its goldtone background. Signed on the back. C. 1975, and in excellent vintage condition.
$20 USDHUGE Fish Pendant Choker Necklace: Make a Splash!
Jewelry:Vintage:Figural
Easy to be the big fish in any pond wearing this striking accessory, be you a Pisces or any other sign of the zodiac. Pendant measures approx. 4 1/16" long x 2" at highest point and surveys the sea through an emerald-green rhinestone eye. He is attached to goldtone collar that measures approx. 16" around. In excellent vintage condition. ~~Please be advised that, despite its size, pendant sits straight on the chest when this necklace is worn. Also, since it has been soldered to the choker, ...
$25 USDCrescent Moon & Stars & Sunflowers Demi-Parure
Jewelry:Vintage:Figural:Earrings & Pendant/Brooch
An intriguing blend of planets and flora, this set features a brooch measuring approx. 2 1/2" in circumference. May also be worn as a pendant as there's a bail at the back. Clip-on earrings measure 1 1/8". Shiny amber-colored enameling at the center of each piece. Everything's in excellent condition.
$45 USDBIG, Striking Silvertone Horse Brooch
Jewelry:Vintage:Figural Pin
Please be advised this equine delight is far shinier than the way he photographed, reflecting white walls. He was in pretty dull, dirty shape when I first found him, but a jeweler friend polished him up beautifully. Measurements are 3 1/2" x 1 7/8" at widest point. This brooch is heavy and, I assume, constructed of pewter. His bridle and his eyes are goldtone metal. A very handsome horse indeed, in wonderful vintage condition.
$20 USDBig Vintage Mesh & Glass Cabochon Butterfly Brooch
Jewelry:Vintage:Figural Pin
My, this one's pretty! She measures 2 1/2" long x 2 1/16" high. Her wings are goldtone mesh metal (That is merely reflection in photo at the bottom of the wing, lower right-hand side!), and her body is composed of a large, pear-shaped, brown-topaz-colored cab. Her head is a round amber-colored cab, and at the tip of each antenna is a clear aurora-borealis rhinestone. Unfortunately, the reflective, light-catching qualities of those rhinestones did not register with my camera. Upon very close ...
$43 USDBig Vintage Butterfly Brooch w/Glass Cabochons
Jewelry:Vintage:Figural Pin:Metal & Rhinestones
Alexander Pope's admonition considered, don't break this butterfly upon a wheel! Rather, wear it with pride as it is such an impressive vintage accessory! Measuring approx. 2 5/8" at widest point x 2 1/4" long, this pretty figural is bedecked with prong-set stones in shades of red, blue, clear, turquoise, and amber, with one great big pink stone at the center. There is a modicum of age-appropriate wear to the pale goldtone metal, but nothing too significant, probably, as I would hazard a guess ...
$87 USD SaleSALE Victorian Style Lady Hand w/Fan Demi-Parure: Orig. Box!
Jewelry:Vintage:Figural:Earrings & Brooch On Neck Chain
Seemingly never worn, this demi-parure looks to date back to the 1940s. The brooch may be worn as is or slid onto its chain (There is no bail), which measures just under 15" long. The brooch itself is 2 1/2" x 2 1/16". The screw-back earrings are 1" x 1 1/16". Each piece features aquamarine rhinestones, all of which are in place and undimmed by time. While the box has definitely seen better days and is missing its lid, the demi-parure is in excellent vintage condition. Looks really tarnished in ...
$35 USDCzech Rhinestone Lady Brooch: Spanish Dancer: New/Old Stock
Jewelry:Vintage:Figural Pin
This dazzling brooch is part of a lot of old warehouse stock from Jablonec, in the former Czechoslovakia. The factory was closed in the 1980s, and this accessory is a never-worn collectible. Measuring in at just over 2 3/4" long x 2 5/8" at her widest point, this flamboyant brooch depicts a woman caught up in the art of the dance. All the prong-set clear rhinestones are in place and undimmed. In excellent, unworn condition.
$75 USD SaleSALE Huge Vintage Art Nouveau Style Lady Face Brooch: Signed
Jewelry:Vintage:Figural Pin
A mind-boggling piece that may be worn as either a brooch or a pendant since it has a bail as well. This lady measures 3 1/2" long x 2 3/8" at her widest point. She is signed "Fine Pewter" on the back, with some sort of logo in between those two words which is virtually impossible to read. Brooch was in pretty sad and decidedly dirty shape when I found it, but my friend Christen Douglass, a gifted jeweler, polished this pin up beautifully. It is far shinier (and infinitely prettier!) than the ...
$26 USD SaleSALE Vintage Mod Flower Power Demi-Parure: Orange & Fab!
Jewelry:Vintage:Figural Brooch & Earrings
Just what the doctor ordered to brighten up your jewelry wardrobe. Constructed of metal, the pin measures an impressive 3 1/2" long x 2 1/2" at its widest point, while the clip-on earrings are approx. 1 1/4" circumference. Barely noticeable, but upon close inspection, there is a wee bit of wear to the paint right at some of the edges. Set still looks utterly fab in that 1960s way, regardless!
